For You, Mother Earth
Some low-cost ideas for greener living:
1…Use your own bags to buy groceries, clothes, shoes, etc.
2…Get reusable bags for shopping for fruits and vegetables in grocery stores and farmers’ markets
3…Take your Tupperware to restaurants for leftovers, and to farmers’ markets for baked items. Just throw a bunch, along with reusable bags, in your trunk!
4…Start a compost pile to cut down on municipal garbage
5…Install rain barrels to water landscapes and gardens
6…Open windows when the air is cooler and not too humid outside
7…Designate one or more days to vegetarian meals only
8…Bike or walk instead of driving
9…Consider electric cars: prices are falling (the 2013 Nissan Leaf is now less than $23000 after tax deduction) and the 70-80 mile range covers most people’s daily needs

Happy Greening!
